Mergers & Aquisitions

Mergers and Acquisitions play a vital role in a company's growth by allowing it to expand existing operations or access new markets.

We provide advice that ranges from the establishment of acquisition objectives through to the execution of a sales contract. Our team is experienced in advising clients on all phases of the merger and acquisition process, including:

Identifying specific target entities;

Establishing an estimated value for target entities;

Conducting both financial, commercial and taxation due diligence of the target entities;

Acquisition of the lease for the NSW Interstate and Hunter Valley networks;

Westrail asset acquisition; and

Financial feasibility for the Inland Railway Project.

Such services have required development of whole of life financial models, extensive correspondence, communication and co-ordination of personnel from a range of areas including engineering, legal, financial, and administrative departments.
